Free Tallinn Trio is a unique combination of a singer with unusually wide voice range Anne-Liis Poll, a classically trained piano virtuoso Anto Pett, who has been concentrated on free improvisation during last 20 years, and a jazz guitarist Jaak Sooäär, who is one of the most well-known jazz musicians of the Baltics. The freely improvised music of FreeTallinn Trio could be described as contemporary impro chamber opera, but the main influences are simultaneously contemporary music and modern jazz improvisation. The different backgrounds of its members lead the trio to unexpected adventurous territories and help to avoid typical cliches of free improvisation. Free Tallinn Trio was established in 2006 and has so far performed in Austria, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Germany (Moers Festival), France (Jazzycolours Festival), UK (LIFEM Festival), The Netherlands (Starnger Than Paranoia Festival), Finland (Pori Jazz Festival), Greece and Estonia. The debut CD “Full Moon” (AVA Muusika) was released in April 2007 and in spring 2010 their next CD “A Tale” (live at Moers Festival) was released by English label Leo Records.
